Accessible Accordion component for React
npm install react-accessible-accordionreact-accessible-accordion


=========
In most cases, you no longer need a JS library like this to render fully functional, accessible accordions. For that reason, this project is no longer maintained.
This is because native HTML Disclosure (aka /
Native disclosures offer several advantages over any JS-based solutions. For instance:
- Because there is no JS to download/parse, they are far more performant.
- They are framework-agnostic, and will work the same way whether you're using React, [other framework], or plain old HTML.
- Collapsed content can still be found via find-on-page (
First, grab the package from npm:
``sh`
npm install --save react-accessible-accordion
Then, import the editor and use it in your code. Here is a
basic example:
`jsx
import React from 'react';
import {
Accordion,
AccordionItem,
AccordionItemHeading,
AccordionItemButton,
AccordionItemPanel,
} from 'react-accessible-accordion';
// Demo styles, see 'Styles' section below for some notes on use.
import 'react-accessible-accordion/dist/fancy-example.css';
export default function Example() {
return (

We strongly encourage you to write your own styles for your accordions, but
we've published the styles used on our demo page to help you get up and running:
`js`
import 'react-accessible-accordion/dist/fancy-example.css';
We recommend that you copy them into your own app and modify them to suit your
needs, particularly if you're using your own classNames.
#### allowMultipleExpanded : boolean [optional, default: false]
Don't autocollapse items when expanding other items.
#### allowZeroExpanded : boolean [optional, default: false]
Allow the only remaining expanded item to be collapsed.
#### preExpanded: string[] [_optional_, default: []]
Accepts an array of strings and any AccordionItem whose uuid prop matches
any one of these strings will be expanded on mount.
#### className : string [optional, default: 'accordion']
Class(es) to apply to element.
#### onChange : (string[]) => void [optional]
Callback which is invoked when items are expanded or collapsed. Gets passed
uuids of the currently expanded AccordionItems.
---
#### className : string [optional, default: accordion__item]
Class(es) to apply to element.
#### uuid : string|number [optional]
Recommended for use with onChange. Will be auto-generated if not provided.
#### dangerouslySetExpanded: boolean [optional]
Enables external control of the expansion.
> Warning: This may impact accessibility negatively, use at your own risk
---
#### className : string [optional, default: 'accordion__heading']
Class(es) to apply to the 'heading' element.
#### aria-level : number [optional, default: 3]
Semantics to apply to the 'heading' element. A value of 1 would make your
heading element hierarchically equivalent to an
tag, and likewise a value
of 6 would make it equivalent to an tag.$3
#### className :
string [optional, default: 'accordion__button']Class(es) to apply to the 'button' element.

Accessibility Best-Practice
Authoring an 'accordion' component to the
WAI ARIA spec can be
complex, but
React Accessible Accordion does most of the heavy lifting for
you, including:- Applying appropriate aria attributes (
aria-expanded, aria-controls,
aria-disabled, aria-hidden and aria-labelledby).
- Applying appropriate role attributes (button, heading, region).
- Applying appropriate tabindex attributes.
- Applying keyboard interactivity ('space', 'end', 'tab', 'up', 'down', 'home'
and 'end' keys).However, there's still a couple of things you need to keep in mind to remain
spec-compliant:
- Only ever use
phrasing content
inside of your
AccordionItemHeading component. If in doubt, use text only.
- Always provide an aria-level prop to your AccordionItemHeading
component, _especially_ if you are nesting accordions. This attribute is a
signal used by assistive technologies (eg. screenreaders) to determine which
heading level (ie. h1-h6`) to treat your heading as.If you have any questions about your implementation, then please don't be afraid
to get in touch via our
issues.
RAA supports React 18, and the new out-of-order streaming feature. See the
CHANGELOG for details.
Those described by the WAI ARIA spec's description of an 'accordion':
> An accordion is a vertically stacked set of interactive headings that each
> contain a title, content snippet, or thumbnail representing a section of
> content. The headings function as controls that enable users to reveal or hide
> their associated sections of content. Accordions are commonly used to reduce
> the need to scroll when presenting multiple sections of content on a single
> page.
Components which are "accordion-like" but do not match the WAI ARIA spec's
description, as written above. By "accordion-like", we mean components which
have collapsible items but require bespoke interactive mechanisms in order to
expand, collapse and 'disable' them. This includes (but is not limited to)
multi-step forms, like those seen in many cart/checkout flows, which we believe
require (other) complex markup in order to be considered 'accessible'. This also
includes disclosure widgets.
